Talked about my PhD touch research Live on popular national radio show Spijkers met Koppen

September 17th, 2017

After our article was published in Het Parool, I was invited to talk about my research Live on a popular Dutch radio show called Spijkers met Koppen. It was my radio debut! As in the article, the talk centered on cuddle therapy, as explained by the other guest, cuddle therapist Carollyne H.R. Tjong Ayong, owner of Lepeltje Lepeltje. I mostly explained the benefits of affective touch, as well as some of my research findings. The recordings are in Dutch and can be watched at the website of Spijkers met Koppen. After my couple minutes of fame, I received a nice bottle of wine to take home.
